wireless adapter wusb54gc

[scottsark]

hey all. My wireless adapter wusb54gc has been intermittently dropping the signal since feisty so in an attempt to fix it i ran a script from ubuntuforums designed for gutsy after i read it had some success in heron. Now UU 1.8 won't even recognize it. How do I get back to the mildly annoying signal dropping that I had before I screwed it up without reinstalling the 32bit 1.8 again?

Stuck in noobdom,

i had that prob once it was actually the antenna, but it looks like yours is usb based on the model number so it can't be that. i assume you think that it isn't recognized because the network applet looks like this

that script you ran was for feisty, it may have worked just disabled the wireless function.
just to make sure the link i will link you is correct, type

Code: Select all

lspci

in terminal and make sure there's a line for a broadcom 43** ( the ** for any two numbers) at some point in the results.

even though the drivers used in that howto are older, i'm using them right now in 1.8, so they work. i am linking you to this one because it covers the problem of hot even having the wireless network line available in the applet (at the bottom of the 1.8 section)

i hope that this is helpful.
